The Plymouth Whalers have plenty of activities planned this week during the team's fourth annual Pink Out! for Breast Cancer Awareness.

The Whalers will meet at Lucky Hair Company in Canton on Tuesday in a team-wide pink out. All players will participate in getting their hair dyed pink, starting with older players around 10:30am. Younger players still in high school will report to Lucky Hair Company after practice, sometime after 4pm.

On Wednesday, the Whalers will work as waiters from 5-8pm at CJ's Brewing Company at Compuware Arena. All proceeds will go to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.

After getting their hair dyed pink on Tuesday, the Whalers will play on the road Thursday in Windsor (6:45pm, 88.1FM WSDP) and host Niagara on Friday before hosting Sarnia during the Pink Out! game on Saturday.

The Whalers are wearing specially designed pink jersey for Saturday's game. The game-worn jerseys will be sold, with all proceeds going to Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Some jerseys will be sold via live auction at CJ's Brewing Compnay after the game. Others can be purchased online through www.plymouthwhalers.com.
